Miskwaagamiiwi

Miskwaagamiiwi is the Ojibwe name associated with Red Lake, a broad expanse of water in the forests of northern Minnesota. The lake consists of an upper and a lower basin joined by a narrow passage, and its waters drain westward through the Red Lake River. Red Lake is central to the homeland of the Ojibwe people of the same name. Fishing, hunting and gathering in the surrounding forests and waters have long sustained communities in this lake country.
